Ships' sails. I mean, I know some small vessels still use them, but look at any paintings from 1500s-1800s and tell me those huge white pieces of cloth don't look cool.

Just yesterday, I had to endure some mf with headphones loud enough to be heard by everyone around him on the bus
Never heard of that
Art must be something beyond capturing nature, otherwise there would be no reason for humans to do it.
For a long time, art was also the only way to portray what people and places looked like. Not all art needs to try and convey the reality, but some ancient patrons would undoubtedly have wanted portraits that looked as close to their real faces as possible. The Fayyum portraits in another comment and other explanations, such as materials being mostly handmade and paintings being unlikely to survive answer my question better, really.
I didn't know about those Fayyum portraits, they're amazing!
I mean, from the ad it could be any of 4123984716239 shitty games on the play store. The last one ad I remember using that was Evony, which I'm surprised still fucking exists. That piece of shit has been a meme since 2010
The first game that always comes to my mind in that regard is Super Time Force Ultra. It kept showing on my steam page for weeks on end years ago, with a cartoony-looking cover and "minimalistic pixel" style for actual gameplay
The name really does say it, it's a bad street brawler.
Die almond hands, bro! We're all gonna make it, bro!!! Trust the code, bro!!!!
Some sort of metaphor
Everything bad going on in the world can be blamed on hedge funds and rich people. You can call it bullshit, but everyone knows it's true. Literally everything, be it criminal waves, climate change, wars, racism, sexism, UFO sightings being covered up, the drug epidemic and other problems, all of it is entirely the fault of rich people. This is a literal, indisputable fact. Here are some sources:

I was still a virgin who never kissed a girl when I was 19, not for lack of trying (being an arrogant, shortsighted asshole certainly didn't help me score). Took me another year before I had sex for the first time.
